Yes, I replaced a broken one a few years ago with one of Kent's 
replacement springs.  It took me a bit to figure out how it all fit 
together, especially since the broken one was so messed up it wasn't 
positioned correctly as a guide.  Just one of those things that Yamaha, 
as a big company with many years experience building musical 
instruments, would design so well compared to a little startup that 
might have great ideas but not the track record.
